Pensieve

He sat there, gulping down a drink Arched brows, wondering He felt the breeze but could not smile He was present, his mind absent Neither shaken by distant waves Nor bothered by silent breeze Why he sat still the world knew not But he was on the beach deep in thought His Facebook was checked in, mind checked out His WhatsApp messages all blue, his thoughts not His emails were read, his mind full of dread His clothers were loose, his thoughts tight He was at the beach, yet at work He was taking a break, and yet breaking He still drank his beer lost in thought Arched brows wondering He felt the breeze but could not smile He was present, his mind absent

As the dark cloudy sky bore upon thee I sat on a boat and left the shores Where headed to, I knew not A secret game played by the misty morning Unfurling a canvas only to me A sleepy city distant dolphins I could see The sleepy sun made a late entry Peeping from clouds that bore I could only smile as I continued to oar What was this place I knew not But as the wind Caressed, I oared on Little to think loads to thank for I continue to oar, where to I knew not Few droplets of rain to goad me on The verdant green along the bank my mission Gentle breeze to company and smile on my face I continue to oar, I continue to live on!

The hill dotted with light from the house The serpentine roads-every turn has a story Gentle clouds wafting like another inhabitant A distant chime of temple or a gong of a church A lake that makes time stand still The infinite stars so bright like it's party time The air, water, food-so pure,so fresh Pity life taught us eulogies but didn't leave us enough time to enjoy!!!
